2017 Exhibitions

René Peña (Cuba), Cabeza Blanca, 2015. Courtesy of the artist.International Discoveries is about discovery, cultural perspectives and different ways of seeing the world.
International Discoveries VI highlights 13 artists from Asia, Latin America and the United States, whose works have been “discovered” by FotoFest curators at international and U.S. photography events and artist studios across the globe.
It is a continuation of FotoFest’s efforts over 30 years to promote global exchange and engage with culture in the United States and the city of Houston. The concept and purpose of International Discoveries is deeply rooted in the mission and values of FotoFest.
The exhibition and the events around it become a center of creative possibility that highlights FotoFest’s commitment to internationalism, cross-cultural exchange, and the core educational principles of FotoFest’s art programs.
This exhibition is dedicated to longtime FotoFest supporter and Board Member James C. Kempner, who took joy in the discovery of new talent.
